Last week, Telegram was threatened of being shut down by the Supreme Court, for sending a message alerting people of the impacts of a new legislation that aim to give the government power to block accounts and even arrest people over their opinions.

The next day, Telegram sent an apologetic message:

"We received an order from the Supreme Court of Brazil that binds Telegram to remove our previous message about PL 2630/2020 and to send a new message to users, which is included below.

"Por determinação do SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL, a empresa Telegram comunica: A mensagem anterior do Telegram caracterizou FLAGRANTE e ILÍCITA DESINFORMAÇÃO atentatória ao Congresso Nacional, ao Poder Judiciário, ao Estado de Direito e à Democracia Brasileira, pois, fraudulentamente, distorceu a discussão e os debates sobre a regulação dos provedores de redes sociais e de serviços de mensageria privada (PL 2630), na tentativa de induzir e instigar os usuários à coagir os parlamentares."
